I am usisng a LG 8525b 1.01 and with cdrdao it writes ok until around 100mega and after that it slows down. The reason of slowing down is that cdrdao eats all the CPU. Anyway I don't have the same problem with cdrecord wich writes perfectly.
Please help, because I really need to write bin/cue files and I don't want to install windows again!
Thanks.
P.S: Is there any way to use cdrecord to write VideoCD?

I forgot to tell that speed limitation does not work either...

The limitation you're seeing is not with cdrdao persay, but with the atapi implementation available under kernel v2.4 and below. It will only let you burn in sectors that are a multiple of 512 bytes in DMA mode, otherwise it will write in non-dma mode. Kernel v2.6 fixes the problem - although, only v2.6.0-test10 is available right now. Unfortunately, cdrdao doesn't work with the new implementation out of the box, but fortunately, it's easy to fix. Grab the cdrdao source tarball, and the cdrecord tarball. Inside cdrdao's folder, there is a scsilib folder. In there, there are several folders taken from cdrecord's package for burning to the cd drive. Copy what's in the current cdrecord into cdrdao's scsilib folder - just the folder names that are there. And compile - there might be the need of copying some include files over too, not sure, been a while.
